marantz VS rotel

I will agree that a dealers showroom is not the best place to listen, but if you haven't heard any differences between systems you may be a candidate for a HTIB system.

Thanks, never thought of that..

Ooooo. Peng, which htib were you looking at?
Stay away from the Onkyos- they are having hdmi board problems.

Thanks for asking. Not looking yet. The k.w. is "if". Unfortunately I could still easily hear the differences between systems (when the differences are audible to normal human), as well as between good recordings and not so good recordings including hearing better SQ from good CD than a not so well recorded/mastered SACD or HD flacs. I will keep htib in mind though, when the time come, they may become a fine choice.

Psst PENG,
I was installing these really nice theater systems in this really nice neighborhood this week. But my boss ordered 1 too many of the speaker sets. Its really top notch, actually the mother company is BOSE & they sound JUST "as good!". We cant return them because we'll loose credit from our distributor so i just need to make back the money we spent on them!! Look i have this brochure that shows this set selling for $2499.99 but since your such a respected member on this forum i can give it away for only $399.99!!!!! You gotta let me know now if your interested because if you are ill take it out of my white van for you!!!!! Dude its your lucky day!!
